Good filter but with design flaw
The water tastes great and according to the fact sheets filters out some particles and spores. However, there is a design flaw with this model, after a couple of filter replacements, the nubs at the top of the filter do not reach high enough to trigger the release in the manifold to release enough water and it dribbles out.

This problem happened to me too, but can be fixed with a garden hose plastic washer inserted at the top of the filter. Use a thin washer or a used washer for best results. See the discussion here:

The end "R" denotes replacement filter.
Good Filter/Poor Packing In Shipping
This filter seems to work well & has improved the water quality of some very iron tasting water. We have it installed on the water line that supplies the drinking water faucet & refrigerator ice maker. We put it in the basement so it's easy to access/change the filter.

Update 12/09: We also use this filter in our primary home for the water line supplying the refrigerator. This house has a very different water issue: hard water. We previously used a Brita filter/pitcher for making coffee/tea because it stopped hard water deposits from forming in our pot. But that system was so slow & took space in the refrigerator so we switched to this filter. Unfortunately, it does not remove the hard water/lime. So the pot has to be "delimed" regularly. Also doesn't stop the buildup of lime in the refrigerator ice maker/water dispenser.

Was not happy w/the way this was packaged for shipping. There was no filler around the filter boxes (c'mon, who doesn't have a little...
